    This has been an issue for a while.

    It doesn't see cellulite, varicose veins, stretch marks or tattoos.....

    Proceed as ordered.

    LOL, the ACLU members must have small body parts.

    I have no problem with that!

    Yeah, I saw a documentary on it a while back. I don't go to the airport much, but based on what can happen there, I'll leave my modesty at the door with the knowledge that everyone will be scanned along with me and we'll all be much safer for it.

    The person who is looking at the scan is remote from the screening area. Your face is blurred. How different is it from going to a doctor? After you have seen 10,000 naked bodies....we are all pretty much the same under our clothes.

    I do not believe scanning is terrible effective, but I also don't think this is an invasion of my privacy.

    The device can tell if a traveler is a problem...
    It does show people with their undies in a wad!

    ---------------------

    This was also a prob with certain vid cameras. There was a feature that made some materials see-thru.

    This also can happen with regular photography too. A friend at work had a picture of her and her daughter at a graduation on her desk.

    I had to pick it up and look at it closely to make sure I was seeing what I saw!

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.
